PERSONALLY, I think it is ok to do that occasionally for emphasis. Haha! Or to highlight something, in lieu of italics.

That was a test. Did it appear like I was yelling? LOL

As a preamble, I should mention 2 things before I present my next reply.

1) I am not Thai, and I don't want to mislead you into thinking that what I will suggest is in perfect congruence with...

Hi Rachaya,

Welcome to the forums!

Just to clarify- are you trying to say that you suspect the guy is a scammer and that the same thing has happened to you? Also, you don't know these people...

As far as I see you have presented your story well, trying to give it a balanced viewpoint. That is, trying to look at things from her perspective, too.

To be frank with you I do not buy all...

We appreciate your offer to be more helpful in the forums, especially in the abovementioned issues. Hope you will stick around. Welcome!

Welcome to this site, Toydajo! You'll have plenty of opprtunities to ride an elephant even if you fail to visit the zoo. Many tourist attractions in Thailand offer that activity.

Thread moved.

Hi Sid,

First of all, welcome to the forums! Yes, you can ask that kind of question in these forums. This is not the right section, but that's not a big deal, for later on a staff can easily...

I am surprised that the potency of dengue virus is being played down here. I did a thorough research (when my nephew became a victim ) and it is in fact tagged as a killer disease! I wonder if the...

Weicome LonghammerGuy! It's interesting that you chose to learn Thai for your first non-European language. Please feel free to ask questions or share your experiences in learning Thai.

Tomatoes are my favorites! I eat them everyday. I heard that 'recycled' water saved from the washing machine's rinse or from doing dishes can be used for watering tomatoes. That's a practical tip!...

Thanks. Your words resonate the spirit of JFK's oft-qouted address~ Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. It's a good reminder to look inwardly on what we ...

LOL. Welcome back to the forums! Being guapo (handsome) is enough qualification; forget about being a poeta. :laughlong:laughlong

In Spanish, poeta is a male poet. That's why in my mind they are male. Having said that, I'm still unsure if the OP is male or female.

What an interesting comment!

Apparently our respective takes on these 'poems' reflect varied viewpoints. I liked your analogy of
someone refusing to leave the theatre even after the show is...

Tod raised valid points. I had been wanting to post a similarly strongly-worded comment, but there’s always something that stopped me. However, Tod made me realize that I am not alone in my...

I understand! It could be uncomfortable to be called a name or nickname which doesn't feel "it's you". In seminars I am involved in, we try to solve that by letting the participants themselves print...

Oh, I found an explanation.

Why is Bill from William?

There are many theories on why Bill became a nickname for William; the most obvious is that it was part of the Middle Ages trend of...

Yes, very hard to guess how Johns are nicknamed Jacks, just like John F. Kennedy. But according to historical accounts, John is a name with history stretching back far into Biblical times. However,...

In the US, UK and other countries some nicknames are shortened versions, culled from given names and don't really have meanings, unlike in Thai. For example, Art for Arthur, Jenny for Jennifer,...

LOL, now I am confused. By the way, are there guys nicknamed ICE also?

I have been struggling very hard to appreciate your poetry. Would you mind educating me how your 'moment of death will be jealous upon knowing that you love someone deeply'? In other words, how can a...

The nickname " Ice", appears on the top 10 list. I know at least 4 Thai ladies who have this nickname. Does this have the same meaning in English, which is''water frozen solid" ? Why is this so...

Could have been done by a person who studied how to write Thai script-look at how they started from the loops. My guess is that the person is probably more used to writing in a slant, hence the...

Yeah, I was probably wrong.:)

Hi Poeta,

My comment about your poems being 'corny' was a sweeping generalization, based on all the poems you have posted in this forum. I was thinking that you probably could increase the...

Poeta-
Can you do us a little favor -can you make your poems less corny, please?:cry:

ambiwlans= ambulance :D

I fail to understand why thieves have to hurt you even when you're not putting up any kind of resistance. There have been such stories, and some celebrated ones where victims were even killed...

I forwarded those photos to a Birtish friend in Thailand to make him appreciate better the heat!:D

I also get the impression that it is not forbidden in Thailand.

Perhaps I should have clarified that I meant to ask whether being photographed in front of a Buddha statue is categorically a...

Happy birthday, NP!!!!

I am glad to note that you have stuck to this Forum through thick and thin, so to speak. You may not be a regular contributor, but it is always a pleasure to see you around....

I hope FDA doesn't take this lightly. I know some people recycle cooking oil due to ignorance. But, of course, it's also true that many commercial cooks do it to make more profit, unmindful of the...

I thought I should mention here that Nin's sister uses the account Ninjajin when she logs on at the Forum and at the Chat Room, in case some people are wondering why the name is still seen online a...

The juice diet introduced to us, which is part of Gerson Therapy for cancer patients, disfavors Centrifugal-type of juicers and blenders or liquefiers. Even for non-cancer diagnoses and simply for...

Please consider my question as arising from ignorance- Is this really a taboo? This is my first time to hear about this. In Thailand I have seen many people doing it; I have also seen photos where...

Trangam, I am glad to note you finally could post a message here. I know that was not easy for you. Thank you.

My initial acquaintance with juicing came about 3 years ago when my sister was diagnosed with cancer. Her doctor prescribed a special diet leaning heavily on vegetable and fruit juice. It’s the...

Nin will be cremated on Friday, 15 March. We are now in touch with his family in Indonesia and more information and photos will be shared here in a few days.

I am in deep shock! My sincere condolences to Nin's family and friends.

Nin hailed from Indonesia. He first joined TCB about 2-3 years ago when he got enamored with Thailand and he started to...

I had followed this case from Day 1 and, together with a group of Thai friends, had predicted that the outcome would lead to something like this --a virtual acquittal! Funny I had expected it, and...

Welcome to the forums, Aguy1888! There are many resources in this site which you can use for learning Thai. Good luck!

Reminds me of the way "San Jose" (California) is pronounced by most Americans. They would say"San Ho-say", rhyming with "say". ( Other non- Spanish speakers might say "San djoze", "San Hoze" or "San...
